With a recent result of Suzuki 2001 we extend Caristi-Kirk s fixed point theorem Ekeland s variational principle and Takahashi s minimization theorem in a complete metric space by replacing the distance with a T-distance. In addition these extensions are shown to be equivalent. When the T-distance is . in its second variable they are applicable to establish more equivalent results about the generalized weak sharp minima and error bounds which are in turn useful for extending some existing results such as the petal theorem. 1. Introduction Let X d be a complete metric space and f X -TO to a proper lower semicontinuous . bounded below function. Caristi-Kirk fixed point theorem 1 Theorem states that there exists x0 6 Tx0 for a relation or multivalued mapping T X X if for each x e X with infXf f x there exists X e Tx such that d x x f X f x see also 2 Theorem or 3 Theorem C while Ekeland s variational principle EVP 4 5 asserts that for each e e 0 TO and u e X with f u infXf e there exists v e X such that f v f u and f x ed v x f v Vx e X with x fv. EVP has been shown to have many equivalent formulations such as .
